Ok I am so stumped.. I'm doing something stupid and I can't figure it out..

Here's the code:

<?php

$eml = 'hiddenemailadddress@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx                        ceo';
if (strpos($eml, ' ')) echo "yep, there are spaces\n"; //does strpos see the
spaces?
echo preg_replace('/\s/', '',  $eml); //WTF? Preg_replace does not?
echo "$eml\n";


?>

As you can see there are a bunch of spaces in that email address. I'm trying
to use preg_replace to get rid of them. Strpos sees the spaces and the first
echo statement is executed. The second echo prints nothing and the third
prints the original $eml with nothing substituted.

Can anyone see why the perl reg isn't seeing the spaces?

Working fine on my end (copy/pasted your code)
